Description:
|
This 18th-century plan of Carnell, Ayr, entitled 'Plan of the farm of Hill, the property of Captain Wallace of Cairnhill' was surveyed by John Anderson. An annotation notes that if the owner was Thomas Wallace, he died in 1812. The lands are divided into a series of enclosed parks each of which is named and the acreage given in the key. A coalworks is drawn with its associated coal road. The owner's house and garden lie beside this road. Corn and lint mills lie beside the mill lade near the main steading. Lint mills separated the linen fibre from the woody part of flax stems, a process mechanised from 1729. The linen industry was important in south-western Scotland.
